Thank you.It was lovely to see one again. Takes me back so many year to things that I had forgotten about.

I bought my wedding dress and bridesmaids material there too in 1963/4. I made my own head dress as the ladies on bridal wear helped me and advised me on how to make it. That was kind of them. Miss Stock (Buyer) didn't know of course.

I remember Jean. She was a tiny little thing always very anxious about her husband. She would sit with Phil Hazel Me and a respected lady we called Mrs P I think who worked in one of the other offices. I saw Mrs P(?) once much later briefly she was coming out of the HR office looking very...

I was Brenda. I was in the Cash Office will Phil & Hazel. I remember a Brenda but not where you worked. I was Avril Dixon then (using my hubbies membership)

Just came across this so sorry it's a little late. I was there in the 60's. On the 'Floor' and later in the Cash Office. Where were your people working then?

Well thank you. I must tell my friend Margaret about it all.

I think that the Landlords name was William Underwood and wife Violet so may not be the same person. Them Underwood got about a bit! Thank you for the research anyway.

A friend who is just over 90 tells me that as a child she lived with her family before the war at St George's Vaults in a poorer quarter of Birmingham. She went to the primary School opposite until she was evacuated to Wales the home of the barmaid for a couple of years. I looked at the photo...

Not sure if this is of interest to you but We had our wedding reception the Malt Shovel on Newton Road in 1964. It was a nice clean place with a friendly trusting landlord. We left for our honeymoon and had not paid for the reception but we called back a week later and paid up. I asked him about...

My childhood friend Anne went out with the son of the proprietor of the Elasonia Greek Restaurant in the early 1960's. They had a son together in 1964 but it did not work out and they parted. She died recently and it brought it all back. Sad times.

I remember Trevor. I was at UTS from 1954 until 1958/9 When I left to be an apprentice electrician at Dunlop.

I remember the incident at the school assembly well. I thought how clever t was of Mr Caldicott to discover who it was who cheered. I think it was the same occasion but I may recall it differently. I believed that Mr Edge has been announcing that he was obliged to leave our school and go to...
